Appearance - Pours a light amber/copper with two fingers of bubbly white head.
Smell - clove, belgian yeast, banana, spicy and floral hops, and grainy malts.
Taste - Upfront is the malts which dominate the brew. The belgian yeast, clove and banana follow suit. A bitterness from the spicy and floral hops comes in at the end.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes with a nice punch from the yeast, clove, and banana.
Overall - A belgian IPA that showcases the yeast and malts quite well. The hops are there but just need a little extra push to make it a stand out.

Pours a super hazy copper body with a huge head that drops quickly leaving minimal lacing. Nose is dominated by fruity hops, likely Cascade, with hints of esters underneath. The body is quite muddled with a nice bitterness that never is bracing nor overpowering. Piney hops in the body with hints of banana, and a lingering Belgian estery finish. Not very Belgian, and quite IPA. It's a tough balance, but this one didn't quite play the line terribly well.
